I told you in your other thread about this man, check the neck where the cap attaches to. I bet it's all chewed up from someone (or people) putting the cap on like a jackass. The cap is made of metal, the neck is plastic, guess which is more likely to fail.

Rads build up quite a bit of pressure. If your car's hot and you start to undo the cap, it would spray coolant everywhere. Have you taken a look at the rad neck yet?

Found coolant on #3 plug when I pulled it I think I have a bad head gasket but there is no coolant in my oil. So I guess change the head gaskets and a build up while im in there.
